How I got a FULL GEN 7 LIVING DEX using POKEBALLS ONLY!

[@ThedomiNATION]

Have you completed a Full Living Dex? What was the easiest generation to complete?

[@HarryCrotez]

When I did my living dex, the easiest way was Gen 8 or 9 considering all of the Pokémon are in one game

[@ThedomiNATION]

@@HarryCrotez oh well this series I’m completing them in generation order and catching them all in their original generations!

[@drakedragonking4698]

For me it has to be all the wifi gens where I can have people from around the world trade me the the game exclusives I can’t get on my own

[@jemaroo9514]

Definitely gen 4, since BDSP and PLA are so easily accessible.

[@ThedomiNATION]

@@jemaroo9514 yeah! Lots of later gen games give you access to a lot of Pokémon! Especially since you can just trade and breed for version exclusive!

[@sublier6982]

Your dedication is crazy bro can’t wait for gen 8&9

[@JotataPatata]

As someone who took on a similar task I commend your efforts and dedication, this series is always nice to come back and watch. Does make me sad seeing myself and peers struggle with the mythicals for our living dexes tho so in that regard I'm glad you and others have managed to snag 'em when they were available. My living dex is currently ONLY missing Marshadow so while I can't have it I'm waiting for the POGO event to try and grab one or get better luck with the trades.

[@ThedomiNATION]

Yeah the mythicals can be tough but anytime they’re made available it’s always good to grab them! They don’t all have to be from the original events!

[@andudna]

I have a few marshadows on my pokemon sun, I’d be willing to trade for a dada zarude (the only one I’m missing 🥲). Let me know if you’d be interested.

[@Spencer_and_Millie]

This is dedication on another level, i tried to do a living dex for just scarlet and violet and just could not find the patience, mad respect you deserve so many more subscribers than you have

[@ThedomiNATION]

Thank you!

[@AzureTD_]

Damn you're fast with these lmao, as soon as i think I'm catching up you've done another whole generation, great job man! Keep up the incredible work soldier, also THANK YOU SO MUCH for the excel/sheet guides, actually a life saver

[@ThedomiNATION]

It’s funny because I’m constantly getting comments asking when the next video is coming for this series. People really don’t understand just how long it takes to do something like this!

[@AzureTD_]

@ThedomiNATION that's hilarious because I'd consider these record speed for how much time and dedication go into them, kudos to you dude

[@fatherrjon]

Love watching these and look forward to gen 8 and 9! Also it was such a relief hearing someone else not like the GO symbol in home! I'm doing a shiny living dex and I'm avoiding using ones direct from GO because of that lol

[@LostRustedknight]

This journey started over a year ago at the end of my junior year of high school, and has continued during right here at the end of my senior year, and a week before my graduation. It’s ironic that as of right now, you left before generation 8, my first Pokemon games. Thanks for keeping me entertained @thedomination

[@ThedomiNATION]

Thanks for following the journey!

[@Leto85]

I find this so impressive and I love following this series. I've send over my gen 7 dex to Home a month or so ago after I've given them all some ribbons I realy wanted them to have, including the Alolan Champion Ribbon. All members of my livingdex will get at least the league badges of all the games they come through before arriving in Home.

[@Ozokami698]

The original event marshadow was a gamestop event where you were given a code! It was my very first mythical when i played Pokemon Moon:D

[@ThedomiNATION]

Thank you for reminding me! Yeah this era of Pokémon I was getting every event mythical so I wouldn’t miss out like I did for some of gen 6 so I couldn’t remember every one of them 😅

[@ParadoxBrony]

I didn’t seriously push myself, but I did do the same thing with a full National Living Dex back when sword & shield released. All Pokémon captured in regular red Pokéballs

[@Nelsito99]

20:39 is there a reason that you didn't just catch 4 oricorios then use nectar to chabge them (they can be bought in sv)

[@ThedomiNATION]

I needed to catch other Pokémon like the ribombee. Also in gen 7 some of the nectar is day/night exclusive. Overall it didn’t really matter but I asked chat if I should catch 4 Pom poms and change their form or just catch each form and they suggested I catch each form

[@Nelsito99]

@@ThedomiNATION ok was just curious as long as it follows the rules it good

[@ThedomiNATION]

@@Nelsito99 yeah I actually didn’t think about changing them in SV but that’s a good idea!

[@williamcox632]

Good job on the video and getting all of these mons in pokeballs. Out of curiosity, do u enjoy recording the videos or editing them more?

[@ThedomiNATION]

Definitely recording them lol. Editing these videos is a lot of work

[@mr.mimikyu2342]

I also wouldn't even count them Zygardes 😂

[@ThedomiNATION]

Gotta at least acknowledge them as optional forms if I’m gonna count the scatterbug, spewpa, and mothim already!

@@ThedomiNATION good point

[@MageBeLike]

I was recently in my crystal catching all the gen 2 mons for this exact challenge and found a shiny onix, he’s now an absolute unit of a steelix

[@ThedomiNATION]

Congrats!

[@Tristan_Shuler]

That’s awesome! I actually was taking a break from Gen 2 and started playing through my copy of Pokémon Black in preparation for future transfers. Was looking for a Drillbur for my team in Whispering Cave and ended up finding a full odds Shiny Woobat! Good thing I need a flying and psychic type I guess!

[@derrickstrain5967]

[@pokemonfreak6669]

I've played through these games too many times. Picked Popplio almost every time lol

[@ThedomiNATION]

I always pick rowlet but popplio was my second choice!

[@pokemonfreak6669]

@ThedomiNATION Rowlet is always my last choice, mostly because I absolutely despise Dartrix. I'm in love with Primarina. It's one of my favorite Pokemon of all time.

[@LostRustedknight]

Scorbunny in SWSH for me

[@portwise23]

So, I'm curious about the "Totem Pokemon" that you can get in the ultra games by obtaining all 100 Totem stickers. I know that some of them are unable to be deposited into Bank/home, and that they lose their special size difference when transferred out of gen 7, but perhaps you could add them as part of an optional "extras"? Anyways, keep up the good work! I'm excited to see the gen 8 video come out!

[@ThedomiNATION]

Because they lose their totem status when sent to later games, there’s no point in adding them to a living Dex as they are just regular Pokémon that I’ve already caught. It would be like needing every alpha Pokémon from legends arceus for a living Dex which is definitely not required

[@JamTHEdog]

I'm very close to being done with the 3DS era now. I just bought a Japanese 3DS and a Japanese copy of Y so I can catch the rest of the Vivillon I need. Something else I've been doing as a side quest is going around and doing all the in-game trades in each game. I think It'd be neat to have them all collected. I've also been Leveling up each Pokémon to level 100 as a side quest, witch is actually really easy by sos chaining chansey in gen 7, and using the daycare method and leaving my DS on overnight in the auto loop in lumiose

[@ThedomiNATION]

Nice! Good luck! I’ve actually had a few people ask me about if I will go for all the npc trades. I definitely won’t count them for the living dex but it could be something interesting to add to the collection when I’m finished!

[@EnterMidnight0]

You inspired me to do this with my home only issue is i dont have sll the original games so im doing it using the games i have and its fun as hell just started 2 weeks back and just finshed gen 1 using lets go eevee mostly with my other games subbing in for the exclusives

I had alot of fun doing this on my own. more than I thought I would. sun and moon pretty fun honestly. keep up the good work homie! edit: ultra beasts in pokeballs was not fun lol, I couldn’t spore some was a pain

[@ThedomiNATION]

I gave my smeargle the move soak! That turns them into water types and allows them to be affected by spore!

[@C0nnie]

@@ThedomiNATION you’re a more planned man than myself lol

[@Tonkaonaja]

How about the Gen-9 Video? Will you do it before Legends Z-A comes out and do a Z-A video separately(Probably Z-A could have new forms/regional variants/pokemon) or wait until Z-A comes out and bundle it into a Gen 9 video

[@ThedomiNATION]

It’s gonna be a while before legends ZA comes out and if it adds any Pokémon, it’ll probably just be a few. So I’ll do gen 9 most likely before it comes out

[@LostRustedknight]

In later gen games or remakes, if the mythical Pokemon not in regular pokeballs could be caught in the regular balls, in raids or story events similar to Pecharunt, would those count in the living dex?

[@ThedomiNATION]

It depends on your personal preference. These are just rules I’m setting myself. No one is required to follow them exactly. For me, I include any mythical that I obtained in the original generation first regardless of pokeball it’s caught in. After that, I would probably include mythicals you can catch in later generations in pokeballs (like meloetta in SV or Keldeo in SWSH). For Pokémon like Pecharunt, you can catch it in a regular pokeball and in its original generation! So it’s the best of both worlds!

[@shiny_lock]

Trying to complete black and white right now and I am very greatful for the DNS exploit. Smeargle with the perfect false swiping moveset has been great for catching everything I need.

[@ThedomiNATION]

Good luck! And yeah smeargle is great! I was so bummed it was cut from sword and shield!

[@Shimmysensei]

Great work! Now, regarding the needed forms, I have a doubt regarding the Zen Mode Darnanitans and Female Salandit. Could they be considered different forms internally? One is acually changing form and the other is able to evolve when its male is not

[@ThedomiNATION]

I actually looked into zen mode darmanitan because of the internal forms of mothim and scatterbug, but it is only just an ability change! This is probably because you can just use an ability patch to change its ability while zygarde it needs to specifically be the zygarde cube to change its ability. As for female salandit, it’s not a separate form. Just a different gender. They just have it set so only females can evolve (like how female snorunt can evolve into froslass and male kirlia can evolve into gallade but the opposite genders cannot)

[@Shimmysensei]

@@ThedomiNATION thank you for the information! I might just go and add the Zen mode to my dex for fun ( and because I already made the space on the boxes 😂). Can wait for next gen video

Different pokeballs really bugged me. So, ever since I was a kid, everything i caught was in basic pokeballs. Certain gender forms I do not have.
